My Own Town

You all went away and left me alone

And now there's nodody around any more

Just a big empty house on a big empty street

In a big empty town in a big empty state

The radio's dead and the streets are blocked off

I'm through smashing windows and trying to get lost

I read a few books but it just made me sad

Nobody to talk to about what I read

Heaven knows why I'm around

Heaven knows what keeps me here

There is nothing that can keep me down

There is nothing left for to fear

It's my town now, my own town

It's my town now, but I wish you were here

I'm wondering if I should learn how to fly

A police helicopter would be a good way to die

I'd be a fireball come crashing, leaving nothing but ashes

A bald spot on the globe like nothing ever had happened here

Heaven knows why I'm alive

But heaven it can't keep me here

There is nothing that can bring me down

There's nothing left to fear

It's my town now, my own town

It's my town now, but I wish you were here

I wish you were here
